When considering both maximum temperatures ("afternoon highs") and minimum temperatures ("overnight lows"), March 2012 saw more than 15,000 daily records for warmth broken across the country. The following tables present some of the more extreme record-breaking temperatures. Note: These data are preliminary. Many stations stilll report via paper and U.S. Mail, and may not be captured in this list. Until data are final, most counts of records for March 2012 are likely to be underestimates.
